Stupid Rules!

Sunday, October 31, 2010

Happy Halloween, guys!!!! This is my costume - I am a fashion blogger. Surprise... Chase and I aren't partying type of people...or dress-up people...or fun people. We're hoping our apartment building is on lock-down so we don't get kids at our door asking for candy. How about YOU give us your candy, kid?

Actually, this is what I wore on Thursday. Somehow I heard that it was going to be casual Thursday because of the Halloween parade so I wore jeans....and was the only one. I'm totally fired.

Recently, I've thrown all my fashion rules out the window. I've just decided I'm going to wear whatever I want and not listen to that voice inside my head telling me this or that doesn't go together. Whatever, Voice. Before, I would've never paired a shorter fitted top with skinny jeans. Or wear a loose cardigan over it all. Or wear hot pink sandals. (Those are actually new.) Your homework assignment for this week is to break all your rules and have fun. Isn't that the whole point of getting dressed every day?

You still have two days left to enter to win one of three Bergman Wraps! You also have 18 chances to win. I don't think anyone has done all 18 entries yet. If you do, you automatically win.......a feeling of self-fulfillment.

Nobody was in the spirit here either. I took the kids trick or treating and we got a very small haul. Most of the houses had their lights off.We stayed in to hand out candy for the last half and got ONE trick-or-treater. So now I have a whole basket of candy to myself. Mwahahaha!

what a great outfit! yay for breaking all of the rules:) it's so freeing to just throw caution to the wind and not worry about trying to fit it with fashion rules! good luck:)~Allyhttp://modestlyfashioned.blogspot.com/

I love your rules-out-the-window outfit! I feel like those are always the best ones... when you stop thinking so much about it and just wear what you feel like. I'm all for throwing rules out the window this week!

I break the fashion rules more and more everyday... I am on course to be a crazy lady soon.For Halloween we overbought candy so we had lots ourselves and now I have a stomach ache.Your pictures always look so beautifully light flooded...

I completely agree about breaking the rules. Lately I've been mixing it up, wearing shorter shirts with leggings and skinny jeans, wearing flares even though no one near me likes them anymore and wearing big chunky late '90s/early '00s pennyloafers. Who needs rules? Rachel Zoe says if it was ever in, it still is!-Meaganhttp://spunkychateau.blogspot.com

I totally agree with you Elaine! I think that after taking (almost) daily pictures of your outfits for such a long time now you're more comfortable with your style and that stupid voice becomes more quite every day! hehe. I feel like this!And I looove the pop of colour in this look. That necklace turns every kind of casual outfit into something kind of wow!

People have to break the rules in order to push the boundaries of fashion and evolve their own style. Sometimes rules come in handy (as a guideline) but when something just looks good, it just does! Like this outfit. I love!

Yay finally someone else who doesn't go for the whole Halloween thing, I really can't be doing with it. I did buy sweets for the kiddies though however we only got a few come round so... more for ME!! :) Love this outfit, sometimes it good to go against your own rules, I think it works really well.

I don't know which I'm more jealous of: that AMAZING necklace, or the fact that the weather there is still warm enough for you to be wearing sandals. You're definitely not missing out on anything back here in Provo. Freakin' snow...
